Summary

Pathe synopsis: Another in our series of famous personalities is Wolf Mankowitz - author, pottery expert and, a less well-known talent, cook. In his home at St John’s Wood and at his Mayfair office, we see Wolf slaving over a hot typewriter and then, by way of a change, slaving over a hot stove making his favourite dish - hamburgers. Evening relaxation to this talented man is a game of chess with one son and "snap" with the other two, all at the same time!
